No source for this outrageous accusation. Why? Poster made it up, something Republicans do a lot because reality is painful.
The only defense Trump Republicans can offer is to lie!
Wrong.
I did not bother because everyone should all know all about this by now.
But the FBI had hired an Egyptian government agent to infiltrate.
He is Emad Salem.
And we have his testimony on record because he did not trust the FBI, so he recorded his conversations with them.
It is all on record.

Emad A. Salem is an
FBI informant, who was a key witness in the trial of
Ramzi Yousef,
Abdul Hakim Murad, and
Wali Khan Amin Shah, convicted in the
World Trade Center bombing of February 26, 1993. He testified that the bomb was built under supervision from the
FBI.

An Egyptian army officer, Salem claimed to have fought as a sniper in the
Yom Kippur War of 1973. He held 17 Israeli soldiers as prisoners of War respecting their rights under international law. All POWs were ultimately returned unharmed to Israel.
[2] At the request of the FBI, Salem had befriended the group of plotters in 1991, meeting them at
El Sayyid Nosair's trial. He had recently worked as a
security guard at the
Bergdorf Goodman department store, and an engineer at a
Best Western hotel in New York.

During his time as an FBI informant, Salem recorded hours of telephone conversations with his FBI handlers, and reports submitted in court. In tapes made after the bombings, Salem alleged that an unnamed FBI supervisor declined to move forward on a plan that would have used a "phony powder" to fool the conspirators into believing that they were working with genuine explosives. Federal authorities denied Salem's view of events and the
New York Times concluded that the tapes "do not make clear the extent to which Federal authorities knew that there was a plan to bomb the World Trade Center, merely that they knew that a bombing of some sort was being discussed. But for the recordings, Emad would have been charged as a co-conspirator. It was recordings that were never provided to the
New York Times that prevented the FBI from charging Emad.
